Second Hand Mercedes-Benz B-Class Windscreen

The B-Class has run across two main generations sold in the UK: the W245 (2005–2011) and the W246 (2012–2018), with a facelift of the W246 arriving in 2015. Windscreens are not interchangeable between the W245 and W246, and you should confirm with the breaker whether a pre-facelift or post-facelift W246 screen fits your exact car. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can match the correct generation.

This crosses the W246 facelift boundary (2015), so while both cars share the same W246 platform, you should not assume the screens swap directly - subtle changes around camera and sensor mounting points can affect fitment. Name both registration plates to the breaker and ask them to compare the two screens physically before buying. Never rely on year alone when a facelift sits between the two cars.

No - trim level does not affect which windscreen fits a B-Class, so an SE screen and an AMG Line screen from the same generation are the same glass. What does matter is whether the screen has heating elements or an ADAS camera bracket, as these features appear regardless of trim and must match what your car has. Check your own windscreen for a heating element strip and any camera bracket at the top before contacting a breaker.

Cars fitted with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) such as lane-keep assist use a camera mounted to a bracket on the windscreen, and not all B-Class windscreens carry this bracket. Fitting a screen without the correct bracket means the camera cannot be remounted properly, which can affect system function. Confirm with the breaker that the screen they have matches your car's ADAS setup by quoting your registration, as compatibility with your specific system is something only they can verify against the actual part.

Some B-Class windscreens have a heated element woven into the glass - if your car has this feature, fitting an unheated screen means the heating function will not work, though the glass itself may physically fit. It is worth checking your current screen and your car's spec before buying. Tell the breaker whether your original screen is heated or not so they can supply the right unit.

No - engine type and gearbox make no difference to windscreen fitment on the B-Class. Generation (W245 or W246, and whether pre- or post-2015 facelift), heated glass, and ADAS camera bracket presence are the only things that matter. Quote your registration to the breaker and focus the conversation on those three points.
